Uncle Tom's Cabin Contrasted With Buckingham Hall, The Planter's Home Or, A Fair View Of Both Sides Of The Slavery Question

Uncle Tom's Cabin Contrasted with Buckingham Hall, The Planter's Home is a book written by Robert Criswell that offers a fair and balanced view of the slavery question in the United States during the mid-19th century. The book is a comparison of two different lifestyles - that of the slaves on a plantation and that of the wealthy plantation owners. The first part of the book, Uncle Tom's Cabin, is a fictional story written by Harriet Beecher Stowe, which highlights the inhumane treatment of slaves in the South. Criswell uses this story as a basis for comparison with the second part of the book, which describes the life of the wealthy plantation owner at Buckingham Hall. Criswell's aim is to provide a balanced view of the slavery question by presenting both sides of the argument. He argues that while the treatment of slaves was often cruel and inhumane, many slave owners were also kind and caring towards their slaves. He also suggests that the economic benefits of slavery cannot be ignored, and that the abolition of slavery would have significant economic consequences for the South. Overall, Uncle Tom's Cabin Contrasted with Buckingham Hall, The Planter's Home is a thought-provoking book that offers a nuanced perspective on the complex issue of slavery in the United States. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history and the ongoing debate around race and equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
